I apologize, i wasnt insinuating you wasted money, just that if you are planning on being "sleeper" status, youll need a power adder of some sort, i.e. sneaky petes nitrous or a turbo swap. That's when youll start racing guys on the street and winning money. In our neck of the woods, people assume that your fully bolted and tuned already, so you arent gonna be putting one past anyone.

I actually got the deal on the clutch from the forum. Cost me 425 shipped.. saved me about 200 bucks.. I did see you guys talking about KY clutch but I went to their site and didn't see anyway to order one. This clutch should do the trick. I see in your sig you have aftermarket BPV. I am assuming it is not a blow-off valve but instead an aftermarket recirc valve. Am I correct? Does anyone know when the correct time would be to upgrade that from stock? Haven't seen much talk about it. Thanks
You can upgrade the BPV at any time (except when the engine is hot, cuz then, you know, burns and stuff).
It functions the same, it's simply made out of MUCH better parts (no stamped white metal that some ppl think is plastic because it's so cheap, no rubber diaphragm to possibly tear or burst), and is prettier. :P

Correct, it is a recirc valve, which eliminates the need to tune for it.

I replaced mine as soon as I saw the first group buy. By prettier, I just mean it's shiny and well-made; you can't really see it once it's installed. :P
In my book (which is admittedly something of an old man's book), if you see something better in every way, better to get it before you need it, than wait.

I ran 13.3's with bald tires and 2.6 60's. Mods/ Dyno Charts in Sig. You should have no problem making power, however I would suggest a custom tune if you have a decent tuner in your area over trifecta.

ok for the "sleeper" look...if you have a Hi Rise you might as well go all out...
anyway I say for tires Nitto 555s is what I have and have stood up pretty good,Im not fond of Trifecta but theres others that rock it and dont have a problem. Im Hp tuned by Mdub btw and love his tuning.
I will also agree with Will and say do something with your suspension....Powell Raceshop Makes wonderfull rear sway bars and I would get pedders/coilovers and you would be set...
